Hi all, I have written a devastating new script which makes it easy to test snippets and packages with build artefacts built by the gitlab CI. One invocation of `nix-shell` will enter an environment with the most recent build artefact from master. Usage: ```
nix-shell https://github.com/mpickering/ghc-artefact-nix/archive/master.tar.gz unpacking 'https://github.com/mpickering/ghc-artefact-nix/archive/master.tar.gz'... <lots more output> ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 8.7.20190115
Repo: https://github.com/mpickering/ghc-artefact-nix
So far we have tested it works on NixOS and darwin but support for
other platforms that nix supports and we build artefacts for should be
easy. It might already work on i386 and aarch64 as well but I didn't
test these.
Cheers,
Matt
